The main goal of the Daylight Academy (DLA) is to provide scientists, architects and other professionals interested in daylight related topics with an international and interdisciplinary platform where they have the opportunity to exchange, be inspired, learn from each other and develop innovative outside-the-box ideas.
To foster these interactions, the DLA not only organises events such as the annual conference but also finances and facilitates bottom-up initiatives throughout the year. These are called projects.
Projects can be proposed by a DLA Member, Associate, or a member of the wider DLA community. However, every project needs to have at least one DLA Member as a co-lead.
Projects can apply for funding within the range of CHF 5,000 to CHF 25,000. An increase to a project’s original budget is possible but is subject to approval by the steering committee.
